Wooden huts aka Chalets were erected in back gardens by many house-owners in Galway City during the 1970s to serve as student accommodation units. They normally consisted of one small bedroom, a kitchen/dining room and a toilet/shower closet.Damp and drafty for most the year, they absolutely froze during the winter!Heating was normally provided by a small mobile fume-oozing Calor Kosangas heater.

2008 Organising Committee

Only 6 people turned up for June's official Reunion of the Class of 1978 (Olivia Harris, Olly Foley, Maria O'Malley, Barney Callaghan, Sinead O'Neill & Speedie Smith).But we six had such a good time chatting and telling jokes that we decided to form a commitee & organise our own special event to take place in NUIG on Saturday November 22nd that would concentrate on graduates from both 1978 & 1979 as well as any one else interested in attending.
